The Reserve Bank of New Zealand lowered the Official Cash Rate in May to the lowest level it has ever been, whilst indicating further rate cuts ahead. Banks have followed suit and, depending on the amount invested, their term deposit interest rates are now around 3% before tax. This can leave investors considering their options.

Today’s highlight in history: On July 24, 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts — two of whom had been the first men to set foot on the moon — splashed down safely in the Pacific. On this date: In 1858, Republican senatorial candidate Abraham Lincoln formally challenged Democrat Stephen A. Douglas to a series of political debates; the result was seven face-to-face encounters. In 1866, Tennessee became the first state to be readmitted to the Union after the Civil War. In 1915, the SS Eastland, a passenger ship carrying more than 2500 people, rolled on to its side while docked at the Clark Street Bridge on the Chicago River; an estimated 844 people died in the disaster. In 1937, the state of Alabama dropped charges against four of the nine young black men accused of raping two white women in the Scottsboro Case. In 1974, the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed White House tape recordings to the Watergate special prosecutor. In 1975, an Apollo spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific, completing a mission which included the first-ever docking with a Soyuz capsule from the enhancing drugs and methods.)

■■WATER SKIING Donaldsons fly high in Florida

Ashburton’s waterskiing twins Hugh and George Donaldson have topped off a big few weeks in the US and Canada, by notch- ing up some top scores at tournaments in Florida. After competing at the under-21 world championships in Edmonton, Canada, the 19-year- olds headed to Florida in the US for 10 days of training with former top Kiwi waterskier Kyle Ede, who was now based in Florida and worked as a coach. While there they took part in two tournaments, both on Eade’s Ski Fluid ski school site just out of Orlando, and both Hugh and George were keen to put up some good scores, which they did. The Florida State championships were held last weekend and due to the large number of entries it was a one-round-only tournament. George slalomed an equal personal best (PB) of four bouys on the 12m line, and both jumped to their PBs. Then, after a solid week of training on site, they competed in this past weekend’s Polk City Open tournament, where George was thrilled to land his three flips and stand up his A tricks run in both rounds, scoring a best of 4610 points. Hugh also produced a new jump PB of 54.2m.
